The vaccination exercise as a tool to protect the most vulnerable population groups in the country from COVID-19 continues to be regularly reviewed and monitored at the highest level.
Children aged from 6 months to 3 years may receive the Sinovac vaccine starting from August 4. To encourage the early vaccination of the young and old, the 18 District Offices have stepped up COVID-19 vaccination activities in various districts since August so as to enable citizens of all ages, especially children and the elderly who are more vulnerable to serious infection, to be vaccinated as early as possible to obtain the much needed proper protection for themselves and others under the severe epidemic situation.
Since August, the 18 District Offices, together with various units such as school liaison committees, school development sections, primary school heads associations, kindergarten heads associations in various districts, district health centres, rural committees, the Kowloon Women’s Organisations Federation and Hong Kong Community Anti-Coronavirus Link have jointly held over 25 vaccination activities at community halls or other locations in the districts to provide citizens with one more convenient and quick way for receiving vaccination. As at August 28, around 3 900 citizens including about 130 young children aged from 6 months to 3 years and about 750 elderly persons aged 70 or above were vaccinated in these activities.
In support of the vaccination activities in districts, the Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Miss Alice Mak; the Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung; the Secretary for Education, Dr Choi Yuk-lin; the Chairperson of the Women’s Commission, Ms Chan Yuen-han; the Chairperson of the Kowloon Women’s Organisations Federation, Ms So Lai-chun; and Legislative Council Members attended different vaccination activities in various districts earlier to appeal to members of the public to make reservations for COVID-19 vaccination for the elderly and children in their families, and learn more about the vaccination situation of the public.
Increasing the vaccination rate plays an important part in anti-epidemic work. The Home Affairs Department thanked all sectors of the community for fighting against the epidemic in solidarity and providing support to vaccination activities organised by various District Offices, such that citizens can be vaccinated as early as possible and high-risk groups can obtain effective protection. The 18 District Offices will continue to hold vaccination activities at various districts to enable citizens to receive vaccination.
With more than 211 crore COVID vaccination doses administered, India has crossed a significant milestone in the national countrywide vaccination programme. Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya hailed it as “Collective will of the country under the decisive and progressive leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, which was demonstrated through Jan Bhagidari”.
Prime Minister in a tweet dated 13th July 2022 stated “Vaccination is an effective means to fight COVID-19. Today’s Cabinet decision will further India’s vaccination coverage and create a healthier nation.”

‘COVID Vaccine Amrit Mahotsav’ campaign was launched on July 15, 2022 to give an impetus to Precaution Dose as part of the national COVID vaccination drive. Under the campaign, free precaution doses at all Government COVID Vaccination Centres for persons aged 18 years and above for 75 days (from July 15 to September 30, 2022) are being provided.

In another significant step, with the recommendation of NTAGI, Corbevax has been included as a heterologous precaution dose in the National COVID-19 Vaccination programme, which can be take after second dose of either Covaxin or Covishield. Vaccine availability has been ensured for all States/UTs during the campaign. The Precaution Dose can now be taken after 6 months (26 weeks after the second dose.
States/UTs have supplemented the efforts of the Central Government to implement ‘COVID Vaccination Amrit Mahotsava’ as ‘Jan Abhiyaan’ with massive mass mobilization, through a camp approach. Under this, over 8,86,585 special vaccination camps have been organized so far by all the States/UTs. This includes camps at railway stations (4,052), bus stations (8,776), airports (367), schools and colleges (1,11,700), on the way to religious places (4,654) and camps at other places (7,57,036). Special vaccination camps have been organized on the routes of Char Dham Yatra (Uttarakhand), Amarnath Yatra (Jammu & Kashmir), Kanwar Yatra (all States/UTs of North India) as well as major melas and congregations. Massive countrywide awareness campaigns have enhanced the mass awareness regarding the Precaution Dose.
Union Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya has been closely reviewing the progress of the special campaign. Several meetings with States/UTs and other stakeholders have also been carried out under the leadership of Union Health Minister guiding them on the campaign. States/UTs have also been assured of continuous support from Government of India so that processes can be further streamlined and expedited. The Central Government has also advised States/UTs to avoid expiry of vaccines through elaborate planning and constant monitoring of processes.
